Great location, friendly staff. Great for families with kids. I'm really glad I did not pay attention to the negative reviews left on this site for the resort. Yes, as ppl mentioned the rooms are outdated, but it's NOT hidden. An intelligent being can discern through the pics that this is an old, not renovated hotel. It also carries a certain price for this reason! If you are expecting modern, glam then you need to shell out $$$, and not book a budget hotel and then complain about it!

Hotel has an amazing location. In the pine forest with a great see view. I would say this is an old hotel, with old appliances but clean. If you expect 5 star experience, you will be disappointed, but if you just need nice place with decent features you will be more then happy

A good logical and sensible choice, in my opinion, for a stay of a week or so in Jelsa. I have stayed here once before, was happy with the place before and also happy this time. Very reasonable price. Conveniently located for both walking to Vrboska (35 minutes) and also for coming on the daily 16.30 catamaran from Split to Jelsa. Best to eat in the evening an hour after the scheduled starting time, if you have booked dinner. In terms of places to visit, the Soline beach was my favourite.

My only one suggestion for an improvement is to have five or six extra tables outside in the swimming pool area so that more people can enjoy the entertainment provided in the evening after the meal. Otherwise I was happy with everything.

Excellent location in the pine tree forest, close to the see and in walking distance to the nice town of Jelsa. Simple, but sufficient room equipment and offer for breakfast and dinner. Parking available near the hotel.

Rooms do not have refregerators, but we knew that in advance. Offer for meals could be improved without significant additional costs, e.g. polenta and out flakes for breakfast, black coffee in addition to the poor quality espresso from the machine. The hotel should make/repair stairways going down to the walking area near former Jadran hotel.

Great location in the pine tree forest, enough shadow, quiet peaceful environment, close to the beach (50-100 m) and close to the small town Jelsa, spacious apartment, daily cleaning, parking

no aircondition

We booked a one bedroom apartment and were lucky to have a seaview. The apartment was large and well equipped. House keeping came every day with clean towels every few days. The resort was well designed with a good sized pool. The apartments were well spaced out and there was lots of privacy. Very close to the beach and local path to the town. Staff were very helpful. Bike hire on site was very reasonable.

The site is on a hill and has lots of steps. If walking from the town, come along the seafront to avoid the stairs!!

Perfect location, superb views from our apartment to pine trees, nice little beach nearby, great bar for lunch in afternoon, walkable distance to beautiful village Jelsa on great promenade with sea views. You are in nature, - watching sea, ships, and trees. Facilities are basic and very simple , but enough, to stay for really reasonable price in Hvar island. We were more than happy that we had luck to stay in first line apartment with terrace.

just some points- complicated to park a car in high season and very steep to climb to parking and reception if you stay down by the sea as resort is situated to the hill

Resort threw me back to early 90's and beautiful summers with my family. Architectural planning of this resort is perfect and Yugoslavian design remains were beautiful to see. There is a lot of apartments and bungalows but it isn't crowded. People are enjoying by the pool and others are enjoying on the beach right below the resort. There were two of us and our small dog in apartment for six and we really had a lot of space. On the main floor there was big living room, terrace, kitchen, smaller toilet and dining space, and on the first floor there were two big sleeping rooms with big beds and bathroom. Apartment was super clean and staff was super kind. Will definitely come back!

You can book only via booking and they are not answering on any phone number i could find. It would be better if i could book the apartment directly. No other complains.

We had a great stay in Fontana! The receptionist drove us with our bags to the door of our apartment on arrival and were so helpful throughout our stay. Special mention to Matea in the mini club - she was amazing with my children and they adored her! Thanks for a great stay!

Everything was perfect. I like vintage places and facilities which refresh my memories on ex-Yugoslavia as the most beautiful country in the World !

Everything was perfect except Ustaša songs, sing on CRO Independent Day-what is the point of it ? But ok, it's dedicated to undereducated people 😊
